The Climate at The Manor at West Haven

If you stand on any spot in Florida and you won't be more than 75 miles from the closest beach. As a result, the weather around that spot you're on will be influenced by the proximity of the ocean. So, when you also add in the fact that the Sunshine state is climatically split into two, horizontally midway down the state, it makes the weather patterns even more interesting. That spilt, or division occurs at Lake Okeechobee, in the middle of Florida. Anywhere to the North of the lake, which is where The Manor at West Haven, Davenport is located, the climate is defined as humid subtropical, while areas to the south have a true tropical climate.

So, as The Manor at West Haven is to the north of Lake Okeechobee, the weather will range from warm and relatively pleasant during the non-summer months, through to extremely hot during the period of June thru to September. Florida is called the Sunshine state for good reason, the sun shines on a good number of days each year and the temperature rarely ventures anywhere near 0°C or 32°F, even in the depths of winter. So, if you visit Orlando's theme parks and attractions outside of the summer months, you should have a relatively dry and comfortable experience. But during those hot summer months, it's going to be very hot and very humid most days, with temperatures in June, July and August reaching into the mid 90s F with daily thunderstorms accompanying the heat.

Alternative Similar Communities

The Manor at West Haven is a popular place for a vacation and if you've found a home that you like the look of, then you should send off an inquiry about its availability and exact price. But it's always worth looking at other similar vacation rental home communities and resorts which might only be a mile or two away from The Manor at West Haven and which might also be of interest. It's not a huge disadvantage, but the Davenport and Clermont communities are further away from most of the attractions, but they are often priced better than vacation rental homes in the Kissimmee area. In the Davenport/Clermont area, you might want to consider Calabay Parc (the other community) and also Calabay Parc at Tower Lake and also Tuscan Hills which is a fantastic place to stay if you're a golfer. If you're looking to limit the expenditure, then check out Crescent Lakes . And turning to the vacation rental communities in Kissimmee, you may want to look at vacation rentals in Emerald Island which is close to Disney and Terra Verde , which again is close to the parks.

The quality of all of the vacation rental communities around Kissimmee and Davenport is very good and the general standard of the homes in them can be exceptional. So, we would suggest that before booking any vacation home; establish your needs including the planned dates of travel and the number of you traveling before contacting as many homeowners as possible. This will allow you to identify which vacation rental homes most closely suit your requirements. Whether it be availability dates, price, location, size of the property, facilities of the resort or community, etc, all of these should feature in your decision making process.

Driving to The Manor at West Haven

If you're heading to Orlando, then the chances are that you're going there to enjoy the world-class theme parks. In this sunny Florida city, Disney, Universal and SeaWorld are the big three parks, each attracting tens of millions of visitors every year. This obviously comes as no surprise to the airlines which operate a substantial number of international and domestic flights into Orlando's airports each day. Orlando is served by two international airports; Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Orlando-Sanford Airport (SFB) which are 30 minutes and one hour's driving time, respectively from The Manor at West Haven.

Most major airlines fly into Orlando International Airport and although sometimes more convenient, Sandford, offers far less choice of routings in and out of Orlando. There are a number of driving routes from Orlando International Airport to The Manor at West Haven, but we generally advise on this one. To reach The Manor at West Haven from Orlando International Airport, take FL-417S towards Disney World® and the I4. Stay on the 417 until merging with the I4 and head west towards Tampa. Take exit 58 (CR532) towards Poinciana. Keep right at the fork and go on to Champions gate Boulevard. Then turn right onto Ronald Reagan Parkway and after two miles turn right onto US27N.
